    Does Ricky Hatton owe Floyd Sr. an apology

    On the stool, after the 1st Round, the first person Ricky looks at is Lee Beard and looks annoyed at the sound of Mayweather's voice.

    After 12 weeks of prep where I'm sure Mayweather ingrained head movement, a good jab and smart pressure, Ricky throws everything out the window to fight Manny senselessly.

    Ricky went back to his old ways, so far back, it looked like he was looking for a familiar voice in the corner, perharps Billy Graham's. Watch the end of the 1st round.

    I think Mayweather Sr. did his job and Ricky owes him an apology.

    Big Floyd gave him good advice in the corner, and I'm SURE that there was a game-plan that Hatton did not follow. There's no way Floyd said to him "Aight man... Stumble yo ass out deh' wit' that half step bo-**** you do an keep yo hand by yo ******* with this man. He lil azz hell man. man aint got no powah"

    I really don't believe that. Ricky is a "fookin" idiot for not learning anything in his entire time with Floyd senior. I'm glad he nearly got his head taken off. Serves him well for thinking he knew what he was doing.

    This quote must haunt him now.. Between rounds Floyd said to him "... you shoulda been listening from day one"

        From what I heard Mayweather Snr was late arriving for Fight night, usually trainers turn up 2 hours before scheduled bout, and he turned up like 30 mins before?

        I did notice in the ring intros that they looked uneasy with each other, and before the first bell when people were clearing out the ring, Mayweather didnt say anything to Hatton before the fight started, which is unusual

          Hatton would have been better off with Billy Graham.

          Floyd Sr. was trying to turn Hatton into a smart boxer. He can never be one. Floyd Sr. should have known this. Even "joke coach" Roach knew. Now the joke is on Floyd Sr. OWNED!

            they're both at fault


            everything went silky smooth when it was paulie malinaggi in there



            but the moment Hatton got in there with Pacquiao and realized, FIRSTHAND, what kind of speed he was dealing with, he panicked....

            plain and simple...he panicked...i would too if i considered myself a world class fighter and there i was....getting outclassed....in the first minutes of the opening round


            and its also floyd's fault for not learning....yes, he's the teacher but he also needed to learn more about his fighter....learn how to command his attention and re-focus him

              Floyd told Hatton what any trainer would have told him. Keep your hands up, move your head, etc. FFS, this is boxing basics!

                Totally agree. It's like Oscar said, some of the first punches Pacquiao threw made him dazed. Pacquiao's power makes people ******. Hatton panicked and lost the plot. I love it when people underestimate Manny.

                    Snr gave Hatton excellent advice. He said, "You should have listened to me from day one, keep your hands up and move your damn head." He also told Hatton, "stop trying to overpower him, you can't do that with him". Hatton didn't imply any of his trainers advice at all. He came out in the 2nd round and tried to overpower him again. Hatton continued to keep his hands low with no head movement. As a result, he got KTFO. We all know Snr has diarrhea of the mouth, he can't seem to quit talkin shyt. Aside from that, he was very unprofessional by not being punctual for his fighter. He did however, give Hatton sound advice in the corner.
